In Depth Description A Taste of Tuscany at the Villa and Menu

We arrive at a grand Renaissance villa with beautiful gardens which featured in two famous films 'A Room With a View' and 'Tea with Mussolini' via taxi where we join up with the guide. We then go to the estates countryside restaurant which has lovely views of the Tuscan countryside to have a light lunch consisting of two courses, and the estate's own wine and olive oil. The guide will enlighten you on wine and olive oil making, and tell you all about the traditional Tuscan cuisine whilst you enjoy lunch. The Estate has a marvelously atmospheric 'alimentari' where you can choose to browse and or purchase something to take home if you wish. We then walk with the guide through gently rolling Tuscan fields past olive groves, vineyards, and classic countryside chapels and villas to the public bus for the twenty minute ride back to Florence. You can choose to depart the bus at the Duomo or at the train station with the guide's assistance.
